Illegal immigration is the most pressing issue facing this country. You can't have a country without borders. The GOP-wing of the Democrat Party would never have addressed this issue without being forced to by him.
I am not a fan of Trump but I am enjoying immensely the discomfiture his entry has caused most of the other candidates. That they would rather be silent, or worse, on the invasion and he has called them to task for it is a good thing. This conversation needs to be had before we start voting.
Don't think so, you see, WE the PEOPLE of AMERICA will decide who we GIVE our VOTES to, and you don't need to tell us....capish?????
I’m not the Jonah Goldberg fan, but I agree with the assessment:
“The amazing thing is that Trump is both a RINO and a CINO. I’m sure he has some authentic and sincere conservative views down in there somewhere. But the idea that he’s more plausibly conservative — or more loyally Republican — than Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Scott Walker, or any of the others is just flatly absurd. It is vastly more plausible that he is a stalking horse for his dear friend Hillary Clinton than he is a sincere conservative.”
Jonah Girlyman is right on this one
Trump, with his own mouth, has said the opposite of the things he is saying now.
Jonah’s head is intervening with his ass.
I see this immigration problem (illegal & legal) as a killer for the USA. I believe Trump would address it if elected, but I’m not a single issue voter Where does he stand on abortion, guns and many other important issues? What’s the whole Trump package?
Sorry, and it doesn’t seem popular on FR, but I like Trump. I look at the rest and I see career politicians...lord knows we have tried that...even tried the community organizer type...didn’t work. So I want someone that understands economies and jobs..and someone who is A$$hole enough to FIRE the EPA and welfare slackers. Not sure I want him for a friend, next door neighbor, or dinner partner...but wouldn’t be worried about him being the one to tell Putin to get the hell out of the Ukraine, tell Iran to stop with the bomb research or be bombed back to the Stone Age they never seem to have left. He isn’t perfect, none are, but I think we need some kicka$$ and I don’t see that in the rest of the field.
The GOPErs are in a tizzy.
Someone tell this jackass Jonah Goldberg to tell the victims they’re all being conned.
FULL-UNEDITED Donald Trump Press Conference LA; victim’s families

All facinating. Trump is putting it on the line. I have seen all the interviews, the press conference, everything.
I’ve read information regarding his early political views and having balanced that against his current stance believe Trump did and said what he needed to do and say to succeed in business.
My eyes are wide open, but I’m hopeful he is sincere.
On imigration, he is telling the truth and telling it loudly. He called the press dishonest to their face and showed some their due disrespect at the press conference. That was remarkable and the first time I have ever heard any politician do it in my life.
Time will tell.
Trump is a pompous ass who would be a disaster as POTUS. Not however as big a disaster as Obama has been.
I like Trump, not because I think he would make a good POTUS, but because by being straight, saying what *he* thinks, and calling out the utterly spineless weaklings among the Republicans, he performs an essential service.
He does not mouth brainless niceties about how the Republicans must pursue a “big tent” approach, even though it has failed miserably in past. The “big tent” approach makes most Republican rank and file cringe, because they know it is a lie.
You attract people to support you by what you *do*, not by endlessly blathering that you are their friend, except when push comes to shove, you aren’t.
He also calls the Democrat pigs what they are: pigs. They are the racists. They are the corrupt and greedy. They are the ones who cheat whenever they can. They are the real oppressors. etc. And when Democrats are exposed for what they are, they squeal like stuck pigs.
It makes most Republican leaders sick to their stomach to attack the Democrats with the truth. Instead they want to pretend to be nice, no matter how offensive the Democrats behave. No matter who and how many Americans they hurt.
We want a fighter, a brawler. Not people who moan and fret about the idea of fighting. Empty suits. Straw men. Spineless and yellow and weak.
As long as Donald Trump does that, he makes it much harder for the weaklings to ascend, and makes it easier for strong candidates to push past them.
Translation: "Trump is talking about things that make us GOPe's look bad and it needs to stop before we lose our power in the party."
Right, so now conspiracies are cool. Got it. Please tell me again when they are not cool. We were conned when McCain suspended his campaign. Everything since then has been a con.
Did Jonah call Obama a “con-man” in 2008?
Imagine if, instead of Trump, it had been Bush 43, Rove, Boehner, McConnell, Krauthammer, Will and McCain who had brought out all these issues regarding illegal immigration.
We would not be in the mess we are today.
America would still be America.
Crime would be reduced 25%.
Democrats would be a distinct minority.
You wouldn’t be pushing 2 for English.
You could get treated at the Emergency Room before you bled to death.
Your kids would be learning stuff at schools.
California would still be an American state.
You wouldn’t have lost your job.
Your neighbor wouldn’t be 10 ladder trucks and an all night salsa party.
But instead, we have Boehner, McConnell, Will, Rubio, Ryan, Bush, Christie, McCain, Graham living in their illegal-free gated communities condemning the one person with guts to fight this idiocy and save America.
Go Donald. I may not even vote for you, but you have done more for America than anyone since Reagan.
Trump is a buffoon and has no chance but he is makings things interesting
